Had them do some excavation work for a garage foundation. Right after they completed the work, they called and said they needed payment asap, so I paid only to find out after from both a separate contractor and inspector that their work was not done anywhere close to the professional standard. While I can't attest to their work with landscaping, driveways, etc. I have found them unprofessional and would not recommend them for foundation work.

Had 10+ trees removed by Bill and his crew this spring, just getting around to writing a review, they were here over 2 days to make sure that each tree and brush/logs/stumps were all handled to our standards. Very efficient, friendly and responsive. Would highly recommend if you need excavating or tree work in Vermont.

Bill was great. Had a smallish job to clear some property and take down trees to open up some view at our home. At a time when I couldn’t get anyone show up, Bill came by quickly, offered some great advice on how to execute the job, and within a week was here on the property doing great work. Wrapped the project quickly. Exceeded our expectations and the price was more than fair. And so far we’ve gotten a ton of comments about how great the property looks. I would highly recommend!

Aardvark Excavating recently completed clearing the stumps and slash from about 6-7 acres of my land after being logged. Bill Hayes is very knowledgeable and was prompt to give me an onsite visit. He reviewed various options. Being dependable and completing the proposed work was important to me. Bill pulled through. The work he and his crew performed was on time and without any equipment issues or excuses. In addition, the quality of the end result was excellent. Before he left the site he checked with me to make sure everything was to my satisfaction. We’ve discussed further work such as a driveway

Outstanding experience with Bill and his crew, very professional and courteous. I hired Aardvark to remove two giant pine trees (80+ feet) and a couple maples from my back yard. With a fence surrounding the property, pool and mound septic system there was little room for them to work with but they pulled the job off with no damage, even cleaned up every last branch! The crew arrived as promised and stuck to the original estimate. I plan on having Aardvark come back to do some additional excavator work. I HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Bill was excellent and professional from the very beginning. He came out personally to give an estimate and provided a fair cost for the work being done. We were doing extensive land clearing in our backyard. They worked quickly and were always available when we had a question. We would not hesitate to use Bill and his team again for any size project. It was so nice having a company that could do it all... from tree removal to grading the property. We just planted some seed and cant wait for the new lawn to grow in. Thanks Bill, excellent job!
